  • Melbourne Design Week

How will our conception of architecture have to change in order to respond to the collapse of our environmental systems? This question is interrogated by students and academics through an exhibition of MSD Studio 40 Projects.

These works question colonial concepts of ownership, address the extinction of species, develop sites for alternative food production and create places for cultural production, listening and learning. Experience this exhibition and explore how we can design alternative places that establish strong relationships between architecture and landscape.

Students:
Maria Bulmaga and Gina Dahl
Liam Maddern-Wellington and Gabrielle Miegeville-Little
Dylan Newell.

Studio Leader: A/Prof Rochus Urban Hinkel.
NExT Lab support: Melissa Irehata and Tony Yu
